With 6:42 left in the game, Stefanie Dolson found Shatori Walker-Kimbrough on a beautiful back cut to give the Mystics their first lead of the game against New York. Washington’s first win of the season came into view as the offense found its groove. 30 seconds later, Sabrina Ionescu hit a spinning three as the shot clock expired despite great defense. The Liberty would go on a 12-2 run shortly after to take control of the game. Washington’s first win will have to wait until (at least) June.
The Liberty jumped out to a 16-point lead by in the second quarter.
